I think you absolutely hit the nail on the head in your description of the difference. I think I'm going to start by blending all the cuke and 1/3 of the jalapeno, straining and tasting that juice. If that juice can take more heat, i'll add more jalapeno and throw the puree and juices back in the blender w/ the new jalapeno piece, and then re-strain it and taste, before adding to the tequila etc. will let you know!

Thank you so much! I'm pretty thrilled! As far as blending- I found by muddling the cucumber & the jalapeno especially, I could add a subtle heat to the drink versus a full on hit of jalapeno spice. I think some of the depth might get lost in the drink by blending and the jalapeno could overwhelm the other flavors. Great question!
